Unfortunately, patience is not a trait of UT fans. How much better did we have a right to expect that we would be this year? The program he took over was depleted and you can't re-stock them as quickly like they did in the "old" days. The loud expressions of dissatisfaction from UT fans won't help us get better.
The fans should give the man a freakin' chance.

Hell, at this point I'd be thrilled if we stayed within 15.
I don't know what the bettors are thinking but GVX says that the line is now 13.5 at The Wynn.

The bad punt hurt, but also what would have helped would be a first down or two in that situation.
Yes. that's why the high snap hurt. I don't know if we would have made a first down on that third down play but at least we would have had a chance. And we wouldn't have lost yardage. Then the poor punt and things changed. It's amazing sometimes how one or two things can turn a game.

Kick coverage is good. The kicker is bad. Coaching can't fix a weak leg. Palardy is a bust. Darr actually had some nice kicks and shows some promise but we need to get someone who can kick FSs and extra points.
Unfortunately, Darr's poor punt turned the game. Right after the high snap on third down. I don't know if we win even if those two things didn't happen but that definitely changed the game.

We just don't have the players. Not only when it comes to depth, but with the first string. I don't want to start a Fulmer thread and please don't turn it into one, but our talent level is woefully deficient. We are paying the price for poor recruiting over his last few years. The Kiffin fiasco didn't help and yes, the talent we do have is young, but I just don't see that many players that are as good as the better teams in the SEC have. Not even as good as Georgia, which isn't one of the better teams.
This is a 6 & 6 season. Even if Bray can play.
We have to have probably two more good recruiting seasons in order to be able to compete.
It's going to be a long haul.

I just got an email from a soldier in Iraq who says that he needs my help moving 8 million dollars into the U.S. It appears that this money was found in barrels in some of Saddam's mansions. This soldier is asking me to contact him and make arrangements to move this money. This appears to be a much better deal than the one sent by the Nigerian price. I'm still waiting for the money to be transfered to me on that one but I'm expecting it any day now. A U.S. soldier will certainly be prompt sending me this tax free cash. So long losers. When I get that money, I'm out of here.
